stripped out the back of my car today. 51kg came out (i weighed it)
should be able to show the zetec s i raced on saturday night a clean pair of heel's now.

has anyone else raced a zetec s. this one was quick on acecleration and i could not gain much on him. when he was chasing me it was the same story, he started about 3 car length's back @ 30mph, by the time we were doing 100 he had dropped back a bit but not enough for me to say i convincingly beat him

i spent the day fitting a new passenger side door.

4 hours later and i'm finished :roll:

although i did take the old door to the tip then realised when i got back that i hadnt taken the central locking motor off :twisted:

plus i bent the hinge pin tool nicely :lol:

i got busy with the spot weld drill today. you can remove 2Kg just by taking the rear seat brackets out, and the extra thing thats over the tunnel at the front.

i thought about that, but it is pointless while i still have my rear side panel's, door cards, electric window's, central locking, stereo........ you get the picture

Killed one from a set of light and upto about 70 (Duel carrigeway) when I was 2 up in my car and he was on his own in the Zetec S.
This was in my 1.6T40, no headwork or bottom end work, just the twin 40's and exhaust, plus I had full ICE install / interior etc etc.
